About the Book

Be prepared to live the unthinkable! Scarily convincing, Piers Venmore-Rowland's "Latent Hazard" is a high octane, fast-moving thriller. Suspense, political intrigue and an intricate plot combine to create a thoroughly riveting read. Set against a backdrop of weakened Government finances and nervous City markets, fund manager Rafi Khan is interrogated by MI5 in connection with a terrorist bombing in the City of London. His religion and the body of evidence against him make him a prime suspect. The police, however, have their doubts. Is Rafi Khan a highly sophisticated terrorist or has he been framed? Pressure from political masters in the Home Office is for swift and highly public justice. The stakes multiply as the enormity of the plot begins to emerge. Detective Inspector Kate Adams and her team face a race against time. With our way of life threatened, can sense be made of the intricate puzzle? Powerful vested interests and a web of conspiracy force the City of London police and MI5 to hide the truth from their political masters. But as the full magnitude of the hazards facing the United Kingdom and the City of London is uncovered, necessity dictates that those on high have to be involved. Unbeknown to the new Government, they are sleepwalking on a tightrope without a safety net - oblivious to the grave dangers. With time running out will they face the threats head on? Or will political spin and procrastination give the terrorists' skillfully planned attacks an unstoppable momentum and unleash Armageddon on the unsuspecting UK? The author's in-depth knowledge and diligent research are used to conjure up an utterly convincing thriller, terrifying in its accuracy and remarkably topical. The combination of action and suspense is masterly. Here is a noteworthy new author to add to your book reading list. The hazards to which we pay scant heed can all too easily become tomorrow's headlines. "Latent Hazard" stands out as the thinking person's action and suspense thriller.

About the Author :
Latent Hazard is Piers Venmore-Rowland's debut novel. He was brought up and went to school in Hertfordshire. After graduating from Reading University with a BSc in Estate Management and an MA in Contemporary European Studies, he worked in the West End of London where he qualified as a chartered surveyor. His interest in the investment markets prompted him to study at City University Business School where he gained his MSc in Finance. He became a member of the Society of Investment Analysts in 1983 and worked in the City of London as a real estate and financials analyst. In a career change, Piers moved to City University where he was a professor, head of Department, member of the business school's executive committee and a member of University Senate. He took a leading role in setting up the university's real estate and investment management postgraduate programmes and as a visiting professor at Kingston University he developed a web-enhanced Masters degree. Over 1,000 undergraduates and 5,000 full- and part-time postgraduate students have been taught by him, and he has been a frequent speaker at national and international conferences. Piers is widely published; his works include: UK and US journal articles, jointly authored academic textbooks and professional publications on property, pension funds and indirect investment. He served on two HEFCE University Research Assessment Exercise Panels. As an academic, investment analyst and consultant he has worked with leading UK and international companies, and his employment has taken him to over twenty countries around the world. Piers is now a full-time writer. He is married, with three daughters, and lives in Suffolk by the River Deben.
